Actually he seems to be a Sikh rather than a Hindu (uncut hair, steel bracelet on the right wrist, and the little ceremonial knife dangling from the turban). They have settled on just one almighty god who seems a lot like the Judeo-Christian one. And they did help the Brits kick some serious butt in a couple of little disturbances:

SO he might have a bazooka hidden in that turban for all we know...

More than just a Sikh, he's a Nihung, or a member of one of the warrior Sikh clans. The turban is called a dimala, which is different from the pugri designed by the British Army, which most Sikhs wear today. This one is very exagerrated, as some old Nihungs tend to do. The primary symbol (directly over his forehead) is a chund, which is a cresent moon pierced by a sword called a kunda. Yes, that is absolutely the symobolism, which is why I like the Sikhs in a historic sense. He has four. The other symbol is Ek Ongkar, or "one God alone", whichy differentiates the Sikhs from the Hindus. The tassel hanging from the top is a falad, which indicates he has "risked his life for God".
Yes, I lived in Punjab for a number of years, and know far too much about this stuff.
